Apparently Sony has leaked Resident Evil Requiem‘s second playable protagonist, and it’s the one we all expected.
That’s according to ‘Dusk Golem’ on X/Twitter who discovered a listing for Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition on the Portuguese PlayStation Store, after pre-orders went live, which seemed to confirm that Leon S. Kennedy will be in the game.
The store page, which has now been edited to remove any mention of the character, included details of the Deluxe Edition, which will offer five additional cosmetic skins, including a special costume for Leon.
Leon’s Deluxe outfit is called DSO Special Agent, which appears to be a callback to his appearance in Resident Evil 6. Although an image is not available, it is suggested that his costume would include his leather jacket from the game.
‘Dusk Golem, which accurately leaked that several Resident Evil RE Engine games would be coming to Nintendo Switch 2, and gave some more insight into the Leon leak in a separate post.
“Some people messaged me suspecting the legitimacy factor Resident Evil Requiem PlayStation 5 Deluxe Edition Leon costume mention leaked so I’m adding the context for folks,” Dusk Golem wrote.
“Leon is in RE9 as a main playable character with Grace, it’s a waiting game for me before he’s revealed, I don’t know Capcom’s marketing plans, but I want to share what’s going on around RE as best I can.”
Rumors of Leon appearing in Requiem have been floating around ever since the game was announced. The ‘Dusk Golem’ has also previously claimed that fans will see more of Leon as more marketing ramps up, and will even be a main character, even more so than Grace Ashcroft.
Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
